Just wanted to pass this on. It's great if you have a Cup type stiffener setup for the rear, but what is transferring the stiffness forward? I've had fatigue cracks at the A and B pillars, these might be good and cheap insurance.

Very cool! I wonder how big of a difference they would make!

Ther are a good idea and similar to the factory cabrio ones.
We also put gussets in the A andn B pillars. check steve C 's car for them.

Hi

As Birdman said I put some in my new 1303, I also mimicked the brace that Cabrios have at the rear seat base.
